SUSE just open-sourced a typeface :)
Already in the AUR as otf-suse and ttf-suse. :)
Silly question: what’s the difference between the otf and ttf fonts?
Edit: thanks for the explainers!
As far as I understand it, TTFs are more basic, while OTF can have more features and glyphs.
OTF is a modern extended version of TTF, with more features. Downsides are it can be bigger in filesize and could even take longer to load. But that is not really relevant for modern computing and one should default to OTF, unless there is a good reason to use TTF variant (if both are available).
Sounds like it, yeah.

no dotted zeroes = no terminal use
Not a fan of semi-serif fonts, and not digging the rounded “corners” on E and L (while having sharp ones in lowercase L and lowercase i), but it seems it is trying to be highly readable so indeed it should be great for UI stuff. And doing a complete typeface covering such huge character map is no easy job.
I like it. Not gonna nitpick. It’s nicer than those microsoft fonts that came out recently
I don’t understand how that hybrid is supposed to work. Monospace is a binary attribute; either all chars have the same width or not. So what is the font now?
It says that it s “inspired” by monospaced fonts. I imagine they mean stuff like the tiny serif on the lowercase i
